DAMN THE DAMS! In some cases, hydropower projects are producing higher emissions than coal-fired power plants generating the same amount of electricity. NOT a Solution! Rivers take about 200 million tons of carbon out of the atmosphere every year.

A new, grid-tied offshore wave energy project called CETO is being readied off the west coast of Australia, near Perth. Carnegie Wave Energy is installing what is called the "first operating wave energy array scheme in the world."

Although geothermal energy is currently more expensive than solar and wind, and most geothermal energy resources don't have magma anywhere near the surface, they still offer potentially vast quantities of clean steam energy for the future.

a spherical, sun-tracking glass globe that is able to concentrate sunlight and moonlight up to 10,000 times and can also generate thermal energy. The inventor, architect André Broessel, wants them to be incorporated into future architectural design.

A reliable and resilient electric grid is essential to meeting the rapidly-evolving needs of an increasingly digital society, enabling the integration of clean, renewable energy sources like wind and solar and paving the way to greater energy independence

Thanks to two technologies developed by Professor Benoît Marsan and his team at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) Chemistry Department, the scientific and commercial future of solar cells could be totally transformed.

In today's trying times, it is really hard to allocate enough money to all your needs. There is simply so many things that you need to be concerned about. There are food, clothes as well as bills for rent and electricity.

The major past energy sources have included petroleum and coal. With the sharp increase in energy prices, depleting non-renewable sources of energy, the increase of green house gases impacting global warming

Solar cells could soon be produced more cheaply using nanoparticle "inks" that allow them to be printed like newspaper or painted onto the sides of buildings or rooftops to absorb electricity-producing sunlight.

Scientists are working to convert sunlight to cheap electricity at South Dakota State University. Research scientists are working with new materials that can make devices used for converting sunlight to electricity cheaper and more efficient.

Some 85 percent of Iceland's homes are heated with geothermal energy, which also produces 18 percent of the country's electricity. The rest is emission-free hydroelectric power from the many dams on Iceland's free-flowing rivers.
